Grom

when I did the billet clutch pressure plate the kit came with springs, i'm pretty sure they were suzuki busa springs and I believe I used 3 grom and 3 busa

 

All the clutch cover kits use the Honda oil filter out of the 87-88 TRX125 four wheeler, part number 15412-HB6-003. Get the Kitaco springs, the EBC and Barnett offerings are only 10% stiffer, not enough to even feel the difference.

 

Looks like the 2021 Grom is getting a bit of a redo to meet Euro 5.

I did the kitaco cover, oil pump, chimera plate, and I can't remember the springs but they were even stiffer than the 60% ones I think. I HATED the lack for clutch feel on the G

 

They were smart to go with the five speed upgrade, the seat upgrade, and the easier to deal with body work attachments.

 

they need to offer taller kickstands. i hate how much they lean over

 

I got the “Sex Machine” brand ones from either Hard Racing or Steady Garage, I’ve bought from both those sites over the last year. I haven’t had to buy new oil filters yet, but I didn’t anticipate having trouble with that. Like the above link refers to, I know they are just a standard paper filter used on some models in the past.

Price ?

 

Just curious here as opposed to mods on a stocker

 

no price yet

 

I think my 2nd Gen looks 10x's better than the new model. Body work maybe more user friendly but it looks like Lego's. Headlight is not as sleek and very reminiscent of the Gen1 but I do like that flat seat.

 

it looks almost like a mini Monster with the lines on the tank.
i'd be interested in the electronics options, but still not worth upgrading from my SF

 

I wonder if the 5 speed trans will be backwards swappable? Surely the motor/trans as a unit will be.

 

Now to really close the loop - finally got around to installing. Watch the video on Hard racing to do it the right way (it seems really straightforward but there's a trick to it).

 

Both Kitako and Takegawa have been offering a 5 speed for a couple of years.

 

are these worth the money, now that you got it?

 

That’s a complex question and since I’ve (like many others on here) put another $2K+ into this child’s bike, I’m probably not the best person to ask about relative utility

 

it's been on my winter list as i need a new chain anyways
